    We sure get a lot of Australians working in BC. The ski resorts are overrun with them. I assume they have an easy path to a temporary work visa.

    At least it's a classier version of celebrity worship than we have in the US, but only on the surface.
    Underneath it's just as pathetic and unhealthy for the people and the world.

    Not really. At least the royal family does a shitload of really great charity work. I mean, that is a huge part of their job.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    Big whoop.
    It's not impressive when American celebrities give a fraction of their time or money to charity, and it's not impressive when the Monarchy does it either.

    Fuck paying taxes for them. Why should my money or anyone elses go to already wealthy royals?
    About time Australia became a Republic.

    My question is why does Australia and Canada even need to be in the commonwealth and still associated with Britain?  And you are right it's about time Australia and Canada both became separate from the commonwealth.  We must pay the Royal Leeches...

    Too many old dinosaurs keeping us back. That's why.
    We had a referendum in 1999 and the monarchists won the vote.

    It's the old generation keeping us back.
    If another referendum is held in the near future I can see the Republic vote winning seeing people age and die.

    I don't understand why a country wants ti be associated with the UK ... especially Canada and Australia...
